Be prepared for a little smoke when preparing this dish; it's caused by cooking the salmon without any fat. But the result is definitely worth it: salmon fillets encased in a delightfully crisp, spiced crust.

Ingredients

1 c. long-grain white rice

8 oz. fresh pineapple

1 jalapeños

0.50 c. fresh cilantro

1.25 lb. skinless salmon fillet

2 tbsp. blackening spice mix or Cajun seasoning (no salt added)

Directions

Cook the rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and fold in the pineapple, jalapeños and cilantro.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat both sides of the salmon with the seasoning mix and cook, covered, until opaque throughout and blackened, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve with the rice.
